"The House was in session at the Capitol on Thursday, but thanks to the latest procession of Republicans reporting for duty in front of a Manhattan criminal courthouse to show support for former President Donald J. Trump at his trial, the party risked ceding its control of the floor,” the New York Times reports.
“Almost a dozen House Republicans showed up at the courthouse on Thursday…”
“Republicans control the House by such a slim margin, 217-213, that just two defections can sink legislation if all members are present and voting — and just a few absences can erase their majority altogether. The show of support for Mr. Trump from such a large group of members meant that for much of Thursday, the G.O.P. may have handed the floor over to Democrats, leaving themselves exposed on the House floor.”
Dems have been starting to do the same :(
bOtH SiDeS!
Yeah. Just look at Bob Menendez. All the leftwing media is repeating his talking points, refusing to show/validate statements from the prosecutors, and outright calling the investigation a Republican witch hunt. Meanwhile, Democratic politicians are throwing themselves at his feet, talking about how far America has fallen, that a congressman can no longer line his jacket with money and hide gold bars in his house. I’m sure Biden is going to pardon the guy.
